It is an image I don't need either!

What you raise had occurred to me in an abstract way after the ww&s post to this thread the other day; as I reckon there are more than a few wags on this site, and I suspect most of the participants are males,... ~> which would suggest that most of the votes on that poll would be from persons of the wrong sex as far as I am concerned!!

When you get phone calls at 1am for someone with the same name but a different spelling, you start getting pedantic about these things.

My favourite so far was a series of SMS from payphones intended for someone else in the company. They were from an anonymous tipster dobbing in some people knocking off laptops or some such from an office. Of course, being sent from a payphone there was no way to tell Mr Tipster that his tips were going to the wrong person...

Sorry Andrew, the temptation was too great, but as someone who frequently has issues about the misspelling of my surname I am somewhat sympathetic.
